Community Service Block Grant (CSBG)

Community Service Block Grant (CSBG)

Welcome to the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program.

CSBG is a federal funding allocation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The States receive the money to distribute to nonprofit and/or public agencies statewide to address the local issues within their communities. The local Community Action Agencies (CAA's) oversee the program and services provided to the low-income population.

The goal of the CSBG Program is to help low-income people to reach economic self-sufficiency. CSBG services include: employment & employment support services, employment partnership services, child and family development services, emergency services, domestic violence services, legal services, and seniors and/or disabled adult services.

The Department of Public Social Services serves as the Los Angeles County CAA and manages the County’s CSBG program.
